The River House in Aluthgama is a modern residence designed as a serene holiday retreat for a German client. Nestled along the banks of the Bentota River, the house offers a tranquil escape that harmonizes contemporary design with the natural beauty of its surroundings.
The entrance is marked by a beautifully carved timber door, adding a touch of traditional craftsmanship to the otherwise modern façade. The rest of the front features a sleek design with cantilevered thick slabs that cover the veranda, supported by slender steel columns that create a rhythmic sequence. Glass walls seamlessly merge indoor and outdoor spaces, ensuring an uninterrupted connection with the river and landscape.
The ground floor boasts a fully open living area, blending effortlessly with water features and the lush surroundings. Modern furniture with timber finishes complements the natural aesthetic, while wooden flooring and elegant thin timber staircases add warmth and sophistication to the interiors. The upper floor houses private bedrooms and amenities, providing a sense of seclusion and comfort.
The outdoor spaces are thoughtfully designed, featuring a pergola that offers functional and inviting areas for relaxation. The swimming pool, strategically positioned to merge visually with the river, enhances the serene ambiance of the residence. This seamless integration of modern design elements with nature creates a soothing and luxurious environment for the client to enjoy during their visits to Sri Lanka.
